Of The Room Lyrics
wood chairs, surround me.
Wood tables, foggy side,
in front, with no light.
from the corner, of the room.
Cloudy senses, stay alight,
here on, here.
Blue ice falls, beneath winter sky.
Good night fall, beneath winter sky.
Blue lights fall, beneath winter skies.
roses sprouting, yellow glow.
Reasoned conscience, into the, night, in me.
Blue ice falls beneath winter sky.
I spoke to Gavin Hayes (the singer of Dredg) about this song, and he simply said "It is about a ghost"
the whole album is a concept album on he subject of sleep paralysis based on a Dali painting from 1944. Sleep paralysis is a condition whereby when you wake from dreaming you find that you are conscious yet do not have the ability to move; many hallucinations both visual and auditory occur to the sufferer at this moment. This is clear from this song; being a description of the room the sleeper can see in their vision; especially the reference to 'a faceless crowd';as many sleep paralysis sufferers experience a sense of an evil presence just outside the peripheral of their vision. These concepts run thrughout the dredg album; see if you can pick up on them.
brava thecerealkiller. exactly. to add, that specific condition of sleep paralysis is called 'the shadow people.'
Dredg creates an image in this song but figure what is going on in the "room."

So describtive..god i love the instruments in this song...it totally reminds me of a time and place...and i love when song can bring back a time or place in my life:)
This song, when listened to on headphones with your eyes closed, is absolutely phenominal. I do believe it is painting a picture though. Exactly what about? Who really knows? Maybe it's of a situation or an occurance in the writers life. It also seems peculiar "wood chairs surround me", what was this caused by? As well as "faceless crowd, surrounds me", not only is that the most pondering line of the entire piece, but also the most image causing. The joy of music, perhaps it's best left to the listener to decide? The instrumentation is beautiful, along with the lyrics. Great song.
all is true. to me, it's a sence of a distant fulfilment. one outside your reach, yet there. u can't grasp it, yet u have it... that's just for me. quite the growth from leitmotif, and especially from orph.
